 Posted: Tue Sep 13, 2011 12:57 pm Post subject: two connections available - how to set up the used one? |
 |
|
I have two ways to connect to the internet available (WiFi and GPRS).
How can I tell the eggdrop, which connection it shall use?
At the moment it uses WiFi and GPRS as a fallback if WiFi isn't available. This isn't very good, because I turn off my router while I am not on PC, so the bot always loses connection...
I also dislike to turn off WiFi permanently, because I need it for some other stuff...
Would be better if the bot would always use GPRS. (Data quota is not a problem, I have unlimited GPRS. Connection speed and ping seams also good enough.)
Just need to tell the bot, which connection it shall use. How can I do so?

Use the "my-ip" setting, and set it to the IP of the interface you'd like to use. Be adviced that your eggdrop will only use this IP, while it's set, regardless of the GPRS-link state.

I'll show you the output of ifconfig.

Started eggdrop with -n (this does normally work, with -n and without, -n just for debugging) and set my-ip to 127.0.0.1.
| Code: |
[20:26] main: entering loop
[20:26] Trying server irc.quakenet.org:6667
[20:26] Failed connect to irc.quakenet.org (Invalid argument)
[20:26] net: connect! sock 11
[20:26] net: eof!(read) socket 11
[20:26] (@) EOF socket 11, not a dcc socket, not anything.
|
As I expected, set my-ip 127.0.0.1 does not work at all.
set my-ip 192.168.2.100 does work but then it's WiFi with GPRS as fallback, not like I wanted.
My worry is, that the underlying Android system (which is also based on linux) does decide which connection will be used. The rmnet0 adapter, I can only see in ifconfig, if WiFi is disabled.
Any idea?

I'm not that at home with Android, though it sounds reasonable that the system won't bring up the GPRS connection for as long as the WiFi connection is still alive. I don't suppose you could simply "ifup rmnet0" ?

Says "ignoring unkown interface rmnet0=rmnet0".
But was a great idea! I wasn't aware of that function.
I guess ifup does not work, because the underlying Android is not debian.
Somehow it must be possible to activate that interface. I just need to find out how.

Well, since GPRS/UMTS-connections are established using the standard Point-to-Point Protocol, as long as you can find all the dialling parameters, you could always start pppd manually.

Could you help me with that please?
So far I found no one on google who created his own pppd connection using Android.
I even have no idea how to find out the name of the device (modem), how?
